Not the dickhead kind, but the kind you use to do stuff.
It surprises me how reliant on “digital” people have become when the old way is really best.
We do a lot of measuring here at work, physical sizes of things. We have a digital vernier, a dial vernier, and a regular vernier.
The dial one is quite good, and is accurate to 0.05mm, which is great, as is the regular vernier.
The digital one, however, is highly susceptible to variations in heat, humidity, and it even loses its zero if you measure with it too quickly.
i hate those little digital ones.
I have expressed my feelings to the people who use them, then say “The size is wrong”.
No, the measurement is wrong.
It’s not like it’s difficult to read a regular vernier. Just line up the etched lines. Neven goes out of alignment.
So again I go and point out that the 1mm (yes, the digital shit varies by up to 1mm on a casual measure) difference in fact does not exist, and that the item in question is in fact the correct size.
And again I teach people to read a vernier.
